PARSHALL FLUMES

Description

Arkon Parshall Flumes are primary flow devices with a wide range of
applications, for measuring open channel flow. They can be used for flow
measurement in creeks, irrigation and/or drainage channels, sewer outfalls,
waste water treatment plants, etc. Arkon parshall flumes are made of
polypropylene and are resistant to air temperatures up to 80°C (however, water
inside the flume must not get frozen). Moreover, Arkon parshall flumes can stand
up well the solutions of inorganic salts, acids and bases that do not exhibit
strong oxidation properties, and a majority of organic solvents. Maximum size of
suspended solids is limited to 80% of the throat width (dmax = 0.8 w). Arkon
Flow Systems also provides checking of your hydraulic projects of parshall
flumes for free and hydraulic calculation of parshall flumes installations (via
email).

Advantages

The main advantages of Arkon Parshall flumes can be summarized as
follows:

A relatively low energy loss (3–4 times lower than in sharp-crested
weirs).

A small sensitivity to a velocity distribution in an approach channel.

Flow rate measurement even under drowned conditions.

Velocities inside a Parshall flume are high enough to prevent it from the
deposition of sediments or accumulation of debris.

Minimum maintenance requirements.

A wide range of flow rates.

A long lifetime.
